CPV 48732000

Data security software package

This code covers off-the-shelf software whose job is to protect data: encryption tools, public-key infrastructure (PKI) and certificate platforms, data-loss-prevention (DLP) suites, threat-detection and SIEM products, and the licences that come with them. Under CPV code 48732000, a contracting authority is buying a packaged data-security product, not a custom build and not a managed security service.

It sits inside Security software package (48730000), the branch that groups packaged security tooling. The one sibling, File security software package (48731000), narrows to file-level protection; 48732000 is the wider data-security pick, the place encryption, PKI, DLP and detection products land.

The code carries real volume across the EU: 260 awards (TED 2009-2026), of which 120 disclose a value, and across those the mean runs to about €1.4M. Poland, Czechia and Spain place the most. Demand is steady rather than spiky, because every public body holds data it is legally obliged to secure, and the tooling is refreshed on licence-renewal cycles.

Search interest in the bare phrase is moderate (the head term "data security services" sits around 350 monthly searches), and a chunk of it carries sector qualifiers, finance, legal and GDPR-driven, which matches where the regulatory pressure to buy is heaviest.

When to use this code

For buyers contracting authority

Reach for 48732000 when the purchase is a packaged product that secures data: an encryption suite, a PKI or certificate platform, a DLP system, or a threat-detection product such as a SIEM. The defining test is whether the contract licenses software, not whether it commissions bespoke development or buys an ongoing managed service.

The boundary that trips contracting authorities is the sibling 48731000. File security software is scoped to protecting files specifically; 48732000 is the broader data-security tier and is the right code when the tool guards data more generally (in transit, in databases, across endpoints). When in doubt between the two, the wider 48732000 is usually the safer pick.

Two more lines matter. If the work is custom engineering of a security tool rather than a licence, that is Data security software development services (72212732), a services code in the 72 branch. And where a deal bundles the software with installation, configuration or first-year support, keep it here as long as the licensed product is the dominant purpose of the contract.

For suppliers bidding

Winners under this code are security-software suppliers and the resellers and integrators who deploy their products, not generalist software houses. The packaged nature of the work means your bid often rests on holding the right product line (or an authorised reseller relationship) plus the certified engineers to install and integrate it, more than on day-rate or headcount. If you bid, lead with the specific product credential and your track record standing it up in a comparable public-sector environment.

The volume is healthy for a security niche: 260 awards over the full window (TED 2009-2026), with a disclosed mean near €1.4M, so individual contracts are worth chasing and the pipeline is plannable rather than opportunistic. Poland, Czechia and Spain account for the heaviest activity (TED 2009-2026), so a credible footprint in those markets helps. Expect competition from two directions: file-security specialists arriving from 48731000 when scopes overlap, and security-development shops bidding under 72212732 when an authority wants tooling built rather than licensed. The regulated-sector demand (finance, healthcare, GDPR-driven mandates) is where the strongest, least price-sensitive opportunities sit.
